PICKET: (video) Former WH comm. director avoids questions on Fluke controversy
The Washington Times ^ | Sunday, March 18, 2012 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 03/18/2012 10:35:38 AM PDT by kristinn

The Washington Times affiliated radio program America's Morning News spoke with former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, who is now a managing Director at the Washington D.C. based PR firm SKD Knickerbocker, on Sunday.

She refused to answer questions regarding concerns about how much of a role the White House played in Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke's appearance before a House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee to testify about Georgetown Law Center's lack of contraception coverage.

Ms. Dunn also did not answer questions about if she thought HBO's Bill Maher was out of line when he called former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, a Republican, an offensive slur.

Good effort by the America's Morning News reporter in sticking with the line of questioning as the hustling Anita Dunn huffs and puffs her way to the sanctity of the CNN building in D.C.

The brief video (1:26) is worth the time to watch.

Washington Times has their faults, but they are way better than the rest of the pack. Going to listen now.

That’s an ACTUAL example of “Speaking Truth to Power”.

Oh, and by the way: "legitimate news organization", in liberalese, means any organization that simply will not ask any hard questions whatsoever.

You know, like MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBC, NBC, NYT, LAT, API, Reuters, and so on.....

It was a set-up beginning with the ABC News Republican Debate. George Stepawhatshisface and Diane Sawyer questioned the GOP contenders for six minutes about their views on contraception. No one could understand why they used this topic...if you remember, the crowd started booing.

Three weeks later, Sebelius announced the war on the Catholic church and the establishment clause...which still has not been covered much...ABC was setting the stage.

Then Fluke, and Dunn, and the attack on Limbaugh. The Obama administration set a trap...though no one but Limbaugh fell into it...it was enough to start the lamestream media on the current campaign...Republicans hate women.

What a joke.

Liberals HATE being called out on their stupid hypocrisy by the public. They live in such a plush taxpayer funded bubble that they are in all respects ‘afraid’ of the public. They know they do not represent our best interests. They know they are abusing and stealing from us. They know it. That is why they fear us.

She kept saying ‘legitimate organization’ meaning that the WH controls it. If any commercial reporter did this, she would simply call their boss's, boss's, boss and the story would never air and the reporter would be fired. That's how it works in D.C.

Two things will come from this. One, she will from now on park 2 feet away from a door of some kind, and TWO she will more than likely instruct the palace guards to escort any scummy, illegitimate, not approved for royal access, person of the public off the grounds.

The New York Times - once the paper of record - before they became shills for one side - won't even ask a question about this story. If you haven't checked on this link - please give it a minute:

OMG!!!! She kept repeating the line about "legitimate news organizations"!! Implying the reporter was not "legitimate". FNC needs to air this over and over and over and over and then try to question this A-hole Dunn(g heap) why she wouldn't answer the questions.

Great video!

so the washington times is not a legitimate news source?

someone should push the question to her to specify which are ‘legitimate’

meanwhile, all these progressives need to be ridiculed as the ‘supah smaht’ that will ‘save’ us from the ‘evils of GWBush’... you know... 4% unemployment, 14k dow while gold was under $700/oz and our homes were worth more then our cars
